He sees your child when he's sleeping. He knows when he's awake. He knows if he's been bad or good. No, it's not Santa Claus; unfortunately, it's someone with far more sinister intentions.

Parents in Minnesota are trying to spread the word after their baby monitor was hacked by an unknown person. After checking with the baby monitor company, they learned that it's happened before.

As many monitors are using new technology to go wireless, they've become more vulnerable to hackers.

A couple known only as Jay and Sarah said they were confused when their toddler told them someone was talking to them at night.

The wondered what he could be talking about-- was he hearing a neighbor? Dreaming? They figured there was a simple explanation.

Then Jay heard a voice coming from his child's room one day, saying, "Wake up little boy, Daddy’s looking for you.”

It turned out to be the baby monitor. Someone was not only watching the family through the monitor, but he was talking to their young child at night, saying disturbing things to the tot.

Unfortunately, the hacker couldn't be traced. Jay and Sarah don't want their real names to get out because they fear this stranger who already knows too much about them and are hoping he doesn't know where they actually live.

Still, they want to warn parents so it doesn't happen to someone else.
